Gift Kits for Groomsmen Emergencies: 2 DIY + 7 Buy

1 – In this DIY example from The Rustic Willow, you’ll be taken through the steps of refinishing and stenciling the store-bought boxes. Plus filling them with carefully chosen items, from personalized flasks to mini-size bottles of liquor, to body spray, mouthwash, a cigar, Pepto, Aleve, Vitamin C, and gum.

2 – From Rich Ahlers, we discovered another DIY kit with a unique combination of “daily survival” and “evening survival” items for a groomsman. Each kit is hand-assembled to include a fire-starting set of tinder, flint, and steel (for day) and a bow tie, a mini bottle of bourbon, and a cigar (for night).

3 – Available from Real Unique UK is this Best Man Survival Kit (could be for all your gents, too, though!). Each set includes a pair of boxer shorts, mini alcohol bottle and engraved glass, tin of mints, pair of socks, and a chocolate bar – each one personalized with the recipient’s name and/or the wedding date.

4 – All ready to give is this Groomsmen Gift Box from Beau-coup (*affiliate link). Tucked into a wood-themed box with “For You” printed on the lid are a “Cheers” glass mug, a can sleeve, a bottle opener, sunglasses, and a cigar cutter.

5 – Mark & Graham carries this grab-and-go Groomsman Survival Kit from the luxe, London-based Men’s Society brand. Its contents include a hanky, a stainless steel pocket comb, a bottle of shoe cleaning fluid, a shoe cleaning cloth, a toothbrush and tube of toothpaste – and even an emergency wedding ring as a backup!

6 – Speaking of emergencies, here’s an entire Groom’s Wedding Day Emergency Kit (may be bought for your groomsmen, too) available on Amazon (*affiliate link). Contained in a sleek, messenger-style bag are necessities from file folders, pen, and notepad; to grooming needs, toiletries, and personal care items; to pain and antacid medication; to buttons, safety pins, a nail file, and lint roller; to candy and even a disposable camera!
